Memorials

Giving is not just about making a donation.
It’s about making a difference.

With the goal of increasing the health and longevity of our beloved ridgebacks, RRCF, in partnership with such respected organizations as the Canine Health Foundation, funds specific research into the most pressing illnesses facing the breed today. Your donation will help in the search for causes and treatment of both genetic and non-genetic diseases.

There are many ways to give. Make a one time or reoccurring contribution. Donate in memory, honor or tribute of a loved one, a special mentor, or your four-legged companion. Click here for more information.
